JAPANAMERICA returns to Shanghai for CLSA CITIC Forum 2025
I returned to Shanghai for the first time in five years to deliver a presentation at this year's International CITIC CLSA Forum to talk about my book JAPANAMERICA and the state of the anime industry--with a look back at where it's been, and a quick glance at where it's headed. My humble thanks to my generous hosts and audiences.

“It’s kind of a stoic life, to survive strictly on your obsessions. It’s also kind of religious, sometimes. You could say that it’s a kind of postmodernist view—to survive a meaningless life strictly on your tastes in things, your styles.”
